Hundreds of children already have been separated from parents who have been arrested since October.

A DHS official who declined to be named said they expect implementation in a few weeks. The net result is that there are some children who came into HHS' system for whom it can not fully account now.

In a February 2017 report, Kolb cited ORR data indicating that in the first three months of fiscal year 2016, only 56 percent of unaccompanied children participated in follow-up calls with government officials within 30 days of their USA placement.

Make no mistake: This new policy is vicious, brutal and is nothing less than Trump administration-endorsed, US government-sanctioned child abuse. But with interior raids becoming more common - and alsomorecapricious - those who make it past the border now have a greater likelihood of apprehension as they go about their lives within the country. Dems must agree to Wall and new Border Protection for good of country... Now, stories that treat the latter as an appalling government failure are misleading, since most such immigrant children have gone to live with family members already in the USA, and it's actually preferable that the feds not be able to track their every move within the country.

"We do place kids with families that are themselves here illegally", he said, "so you could imagine that many of those would not choose to speak to a federal official calling them on the phone".

Trump will never solve this problem if he only sees it as a mechanism to rile up his anti-immigrant base as we head into the midterm elections, where he knows Republicans and his legacy are in trouble.

This means that the Justice Department, which has jurisdiction over all immigration courts, will criminally prosecute those crossing illegally.

But under Trump, senior officials at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement have recommended such measures to deter parents from attempting to send for their children while knowing they can get custody with little fear of deportation.

Red Sox 2B Pedroia returns to lineup
Riley Williams III restored cartilage, and the Red Sox said then he was expected to miss more than the first month of the season. He'd already racked up 195 (he's appeared in 38 of the Red Sox's 50 games), and at that rate would definitely make it to 497.
